Enhancement of Crystalization and Photocatalysis of Bi2MoO6 Nanoplates by SDS Assisted Hydrothermal Method

Abstract
The γ-Bi2MoO6 nanoplates with uniform length and width about 100-200nm have been successfully fabricated by SDS assistant hydrothermal process. The γ-Bi2MoO6 nanoplates were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the SDS plays an important role in controlling the crystallization and morphologies of Bi2MoO6. The γ-Bi2MoO6 nanoplates show high efficient photocatalytic activities in decomposition of methyl orange.
